Title: My dad just died.. Post by Jill on Apr 26th, 2003, 8:58pm Marty just came home from work with the news that my dad had a heart attack and has now passed away. I am not sure what is making me post here except that I feel the need to. You guys are also my family and maybe that is why. I am not even sure what to think right now and I guess that I will just leave it at that... Jill |

Title: Re: My dad just died.. Post by SommelierCH on Apr 28th, 2003, 6:00am Jill and Barbara, Damn, Damn, Damn. I go out of town for a couple of days, and I come back to the saddest of sad news. It breaks my heart. I hope that both of you know how special you are to me. I love you both. I will do anything in my power to help you in any way I can. The fact that both of you, have always understood where I was coming from, and so selflessly gave yourselves to our OUCH projects, makes me cherish both of you as if you were my blood. I have no great words of wisdom for you. But, I hope you can find comfort in the fact that you have a dedicated, world wide family, aching for the opportunity to give you support. You are not alone. Marty, my friend. Stand tall and strong. You were chosen to be at this spot, at this time, and thank God you were. I know from going through the same experience, that you will have no time to grieve, you must be the anchor. Call me any time, day or night if you need to unload. With all my condolences, David J. |

Title: Re: My dad just died.. Post by Jill on Apr 28th, 2003, 7:39am Thank you all for this support - you are truly my amazing family too. Mom is not doing very well right now and I am trying, and hopefully doing okay at it, to be her rock. We had a nice talk last night and that was good for both of us. To be honest, I am not sure if she will come back to this board since dad is gone - though I hope that she will. As for me, I keep waiting for his phone call because when I came home, he simply just wasnt here and I am not believing that he is really gone. I think that when I see him at the viewing and I see him laying there - it will hit like a ton of bricks. And I am terrified. My mind knows - intellectually - but my heart wont believe it. We have the a service on Wednesday for a viewing and such but no funeral as of yet as he wished to be cremated. Thank you again - I am going to print all of this for mom to see if anything. Love to you all, Jill And Marty is doing a great job - he is my rock and when all of this hits me, he will be the one that I turn to. Right now he is doing some farm work and I am off to get some rest because I slept none last night. |

Title: Re: My dad just died.. Post by Jill on Apr 29th, 2003, 7:42pm Hey guys - thought that I would pop in real quick. Things are going here, that is all that I can say. Mom is doing better and I am doing worse - things are beginning to hit right now and it hurts. I just wanted to thank everyone for all of the support that you have given to both mom and I, even Marty. I printed out the responses last night and gave them to mom, it means alot to her - please know that. I am sure that she will be around more, things are just rough right now. Tomorrow we have the viewing and the service and I am terrified but somehow, we will both make it. I may come here to vent some because it is going to be so hard. Thanks again for everything. Jill |

Title: Re: My dad just died.. Post by juvy on May 4th, 2003, 4:08am Jill, you and your family have my deepest sympathies. I'd like to say that the pain goes away but it doesn't. It will fade in time. One day, maybe not soon, you'll be able to remember all the good things without feeling the knife of grief stab you in the heart. If you ever need someone to talk to, don't hesistate to let me know. I can't say i know exactly what you're going through cuz i don't. Each person deals with things in their own way, but i can say i have a shoulder to cry on, and an ear that will listen. ~juvy |

Title: Re: My dad just died.. Post by marty on May 6th, 2003, 11:00am I am sorry for bringing this back up to the top - I just needed to post some and thought that this thread would work. First, thanks for all of the thoughts and all - I printed this thread to keep and gave it to mom. I was going through my email today and came across some from my dad - he used to email me everyday. When I got up in the morning, I could always count on an email or two from him with stories and jokes and all that stuff. I have never 'erased' any of his emails and they are collected from freshman year of college - there are alot. Well, today, I was going through my emails to delete ones that I didnt need and I came across some from him and it hit me - he is never going to email me again. I have sent him emails - I cant help it - but I will never get a response and it hurts. The last email that he sent me was about my trip home that was scheduled for the tenth of this month - for mothers day and how excited he was that I was coming home. I didnt read the others but have saved them but it hurts nonetheless. I am not sure why I am posting this here but I am having such a hard time accepting all of this and I just keep thinking that this is a joke, that he is really at home right now. But he isnt and he never will be - I am so confused. I guess that that is all that I really have to say. Thanks for everything and for letting me post this here, to share with more of my 'family.' Jill And sorry - had to post under Marty's name because I am having problems with logging in with mine. Changed the email and now it wont work....any ideas? |

Title: Re: My dad just died.. Post by Opus on May 6th, 2003, 3:37pm If you changed your e-mail with CH.com they will send you a letter with a link you will have to click. Unless this is done then you account will be inactive. If you never got any e-mail then your best bet is to e-mail DJ and see if he can have the message resent. Opus :P |

Title: Re: My dad just died.. Post by CathiP on May 6th, 2003, 4:16pm Jill- Remember, you have no clue when your loss is gonna smack you between the eyes- tomorrow, next month, 5 yrs from now, something will trigger those thoughts, and send you right into a tailspin......all I can say is, slowly, ever so slowly, the wrenching pain will be replaced with the warm feelings generated by his memory. It takes time. Jill, keep posting. That's one way of working through your grief. Take care.....and tell us all how your head is doing, when you can. Cathi |
